Mrs. MATTOCES.—This excellent g&ress and re-. spetiable woman last night retired from the stage, after a theatrical life of nearly fifty-eight years.— 'Her merits as an caress are well known, -and were deservedly admired , by the public ; but in the earlier part of her life her talents were exerted with more variety as she appeared with considerable advantage as a singer, and even in certain tragic chara6ters ac quitted herself very respectably. In Freud) charac ters she was excellent, and in the Abigail class and affeeted . coquets peculiarly spirited, humourous, end atietted. It is due also to her charader to ob. serve, that at no period did she ever " scant her duty" from motives of caprice or private pique, but was always ready,, attentive, and respectful , The short farewell she expressed last night was livered with great feeling, and she retire.i,with. the gratification of very flattering applause from a nume rous audience. ANECDOTE,--BERNADOTTR, alias the Prince of - PONTE CORY°, has recently incurred "the displea- - , lute of BUONAPARTE, by the tardiness of his opera tions against Sweden, and unless, by way of atone ' •'reent, he' an contrive to subvert the throne of Den !nark, be will probably be ordered to return in dis grace to prance. But this is not the 'first time, it .is said, that BERNADOTTI3 has offended the Imperial Corsican, for • at the battle of Eylau, When the Firench were driven back by the Rus bians, •BUONAPARTE flew to the spot and addres sing BERNADOTTE, furiously exclaimed, ." Bite• que tu est tune fais re des cochonneries viand ,?e n'y suis . pas." " Fool that you are, you only ( a rrnit blunders when I am not present." Such indeed is the manner in which the French Ruler conduas himselt to those whom he exalt. to Thrones and Prin p ipalities, and who know they de pend upon his nod, and may in a moment of anger or caprice be reduced to their original insigniticanse. PORTICAL GARDENER.—KoTzrntiE seems to have derived his conceptiOn of the rieruing Butler, which be has introduced in the play of Lovers' Prows, from the following anecdote : • After the battle of CullOden, the Duke of CM- ItERLANI3, on his return from Scotland, railed at Cor by Castle, the seat of Mr. liownan.—Tlie family be ing from home, the Gardener shewed his Royal highness the curiosities of the place, and As they pass ed by the statues, observed-r-" that, having a Poetical genius, he had,written some lines on every One of them." The Duke„ curious to • have * Specimen of Vie gardener's poetry,,asked him what he had writtetkon the statues of C.Vhalus and Pro- Cris, upon which the gardener iinmedi;nely turned tO his coMmon place book, and read aatbllOWs " fir bent bib boiv, and shot at random.

The horse and the drirer !ere immediately precipitated info the area, but, to the astonishment of all who . observed the accident, c i either r ece i ve d any i n j ur y, n o r was the slightest %linage done to the dart. A ihocking accident happened during the convey . n ee tp Usk of part of the tilaggag,c of the Usk Vo lunteer Infantry, on Wednesday morning , .on the • toad bet ween Cardiff and Newport :—Two privates, ' wl , lo had the care of the baggage, permitted a sailor , _ lv na, it is said, was i n toxicated, to ride in the cart, ;here he wa s mos t imprudently allowed to smoke s pipe.

These poor deluded people, there is too . much reason to believe, are made the dupes of designing men : every recent occurrence tends to confirm this opinion., Soldiers are 'miring into Manchester from all quarters. Three regiments, one of cavalry and two of infantry, are expelled in a day or two. I pity the publicans, who are likely to be severe sutTerers - on this occasion. During the celebration of his Majesty's Birth-day yesterday', on Ardwick Green, where the Volunteer Curph fired a feu de joie, a post-chaise, }vying three prisoners in it from Ash ton-Under44ne, and guarded by a party of Inniskil len Dragoons, passed into town, and proceeded to the New Bailey Prison. Seven persons were the same day brought to that prison from Bury. A Special Commission is expelled to be appointed for tr) ing the Prisoners, in -order to' make a striking and speedy example of tha guilty. DUBLIN, JUNE' 3.

On Sunday last their Graces the Duke and Duchess of RICHMOND attended the annual charity sermon for the stipp'ort of the penitent females .at the Asylum, In Leeson-street, when a most impres, sive and feeling appeal was made to a respedable congregation, by the Rev.

The Loan CHANCL:LIOR; the Lone MAYOR, Lord CASTLECOOTE, Lord MOLINTCASH EL, the Lord Bishop of KILLALOS, and Lord MARCH, the eldest son of his Grace the Duke of Ittchstoxn were among those who eolleded. On Yritlay se'nnight their Graces the Lord-Lieu tenant and. Duchess - of Itlcomoso, and their t sons, the k... 111 Of MARCH and DARNLEY, an.l Lord C.

After breakfast, Lord CASTLECOOTE condueled his illustrious guests through time principal 'exterior buildings of the place, and llitl Crescent, in front of the Custom-house—the da.y was fine. The arrival of their Graces was announced by a Union Flag being hoisted on the lofty. builciin,',s in Port of his Lordship's house. The Duke and Duchess left Lord Cionscoares at three o'clock. A letter from Peolzanee, bearing elite the 130) ult. and published in diirrent London Prints, hay i,ng stated that a Gent 'plosive boat t as sunk on thp'gth lift. between Porthn.ci and St. Aibttn's, by a Belfast trader, and tn,:t the al3 was accompanied by circutn,tances of ‘vanton barbarity, a tri t in vestigation of the tratisalion was ,institta;ed iiy he owners of the said trader ; the Master and Nlzte of her being examined on oath, depose as foflows " S'ANLYEL. MoNToMeetty, Master of the Brig Venter, of Belfast, waketh wilt, that on Monday, the Del inst. on his voyage from London to Belfast, off l'orilaild;.aboe; eight o'clock P. M. deponent discovered a satafl Vessel, Ketch rigged, about two miles to winaleird,, bearieg down upon him. He being then close heeled, beating to the westward, wind W. S. W. called the watch, that all bands might be on deck, supposing, her to be an Enemy ; be ;nee altered his course it, order to avoid her, brit rreeiving that she still followed him, he hoisted colours,. opened his ports, and tired a shot a-head of her. 'Mier this some time elapSed, the strange sail still folle,viug hitn,. without-attending to his signal, or showing eelotes, when a shot was tired at her; she then hoisted English dolours, and without alter ing her course, coptinued to bear down upon depo nent's Vessel ; when within call, deponent hailed the strange Vessel, desiring her to keep off, - Which not being attended to, a second shot was tired at her:, this shot, deponent believes,. carried away her wizen. Alter this a few more shots were tired at her, demo vent repeatedly hailing in the intervals,. without re ceiving any reply. The Vessel having at IL:l%th neared,' a person from the strange Vessel called out that she was a pleasure boat belonging. to Mount's Ray, b ,end from thence to London. 'All tiring then teased, with the exeeption of one gun 'from the gaiqwny, which was discharged without deponent's eiders, and said shot oia not strike her. Two Men then Caine off from the strange Vessel, one of whom said, that the cause of their following the trader proceeded• from their supposing her to be a Gun brig, and that they wished to inform , the Lieutenant that the Channel Fleet were in Torbay. When de nianded why lie did nut obey the signals, or answer when hailed, he teplied, that he was inexperienced in steering, or. making signals; that they. heard themselves hailed, but Were afraid to venture upon deck that his brother was in bed, and the Master beiew. By this time it appeared that the small Ves se! was so mach injured, it was impossible to pre beat her sinlotig, which she did shortly atter; .The crew, three in number, were taken on board the trader, alt apparently intoxicated, when every at tention. and accommodation were worded them by deponent, who caused them to be landed in safety at Torbay the day following. Previous to their go ing ashore; they expressed their gratitude fur the ci vility and attention shewn them, and begged depo nent's acceptance of a valuable compass, acknov.i.- ledging that the unpleasant accident was to be ascrib ed to their owl) inexperience."

George illose, M. P. to whom the Society are great- . ly indebted fin' his zeal and attention on this inter esting occasion., th'e • Society have appointed a Me dical Deputation ; - consisting of John Ring, Esq. Vice-President; W. Blair, Esq. Director; and Dr. J. S. Knowles, their Resident Inoculator. These Qentlernen, . assisted by Dr. Fowler, an eminent Physician of Salisbury, who is totally un conneeted with this Society, proceeded to Ring wood, where a public meeting was convened at the Town Hall, and attended by the Right Hon. George Rose ; W. Mills, Esq. M. P. ' • S. Tutick,' Esq. a Magistrate of the town ; the Rev. Dr. Taylor, the Rev. Mr. 'Davies, the Rev. Mr. Middleton ; Mr. Westeott, and Mr. Macilwain, Surgeons, of Ring kvtiod, and the other principal inhabitants of tha t . town and neighbourhood. In their presence the Medical. Gentlemen, during two whote days, went into a close Investigation of these supposed failures . of Vaccination. _ Their report (which is open to the inspection of any medical' ma) afilads the most .consolatory re suits.

'On the whole, the Medical Deputation are per fcElly after a minute ;Ind careful examina tiun of the nurnero,us cases brought before them, that too instance occurred, during the dreadful visi tation at Ringwtxxl, of the Snail Pox having taken place where the process of VaCcination had been cOmplvie and they have the highest sansfaCtion ill uttering to, the Public a confirmation of their own Opinion, in the subjoined comMunicatiom; from the two Modica' Practitioners at Ringwood, by whom the majority of the ,inhAbitants wereinacu loted. GENRItAL RESULT oF THE INQUIRY INTO THE UN- I'AVOURAELE REkORTE CONCERNING VACCINATION AT RINGWOuLL The Small Poi appeared at Ringwood about the middle óf September; and rapidly spread through the town and neighbourhood, partly by means 'of inoculation, and iiartly by natural infeetion. 'Vap citte inoculation did not commence until the 23d of Oaober ; •it is therefore evident, that a) those per sons who were vaccinated, had been previous ex pos edto the contagion of the Small Pox. Some of the 4: perSOns had the :Small, Pax - In the same time with the Coy Pock, in consequence of previons'infeaion. In of isms yam* inoculation did not take elle& ; and consemently they were not rendered insusceptible of the infeaion of the Small Pox. In verions:instances, dry . Cow Peek matter; re ceived trvm severel quarters, was dissolved in w ater 2111106 i boiling, previeus to insertion ; and it is -pro b4le, that on this account it frequently failed to produce any erit;Ct. About two hundred persons, however, etvere aucwssfully vaccinated ; and have been prote&ed from the •Smati Pox, , thotrgit much expiised to its infedion in different ways. It was alserted that the Small Pox was more fatal, at: Ringwood and the neighbouring villages, to those per,ions who were inoculates for the Cow Pock, than to.others.. This report appeared to be totally destitute of foundation. The mortality was indeed considerable, owing in some instances to the want .of air and cleanliness, and in others to the immo derate vise of spiritous liquors, particularly at the time of the eruption, which had been recommend ed by a Thresher, .who•inoculates for the Small Pos. It was reported that several persons ,at Ringwood, who were inoculated with the Cow Pock some years ago, lately had the Small Pox : but no satisfeclory evidence was given to establish the feel : as it appear ed either that their arms bad not been inspected by the iucculator after Vaccination, or that there was no proper scar left behind; or on th© other hand, when they were put to the test of variolous inoculation; no other circa was produced than what is occasionally produced in those. whb have previously had the Small Pox. It was also insidtinteily reported that l'A/0 persons died of the Cow Puck (or as it has been termed, the " Vaccine Ulcer") : bet it is positively asserted by the Surgeons who inoculated them, den no Vaccine Ulcer, nor Cow Pock took place in either of those instances ; and that the patients died of other diseases—one.of them of apoplexy. The preceding Report having been submitted to D. Fowler, an answer ((Weil Sarum, Jan. 3t) has been received, in which he sayi, " I perfectly ap prove of this Report ; as it %ery accurately expresses the opinion which I have formed of the causes of the supposed fedures of Vaccination at Ringwood." Mr: Rose has likewise permitted the • Jenneriau So ciety to add, " that he has seen this Report, and concurs in it, so far as he is ably to form a Judgment on this subjed."

The ad- . . i.ertisement I allude to is the following : After a most careful and minute investigation of those cases in which the Small-pox occurred subse quently to inoculation for the Cow-pot lif it ap . - peared, that such inoculation bad not taken etfeat, or that when 'an etre& had been produced, 'the prfj gress of vaccination was interruped, so as to render the patients insecure The result cannot tail to' be highly interesting to the inhabitantA of Ringwood; and of the neighbouring parishes; inasmuch as it must remove the feeling of alarm which hie: heetx. excited, and restore and confirm. the confidence of the public in a practice ailording proteCtion'egainst a pestilential disease, justly esteemed the scourge of the human race, The. investigation • was made in the presence of son* of the most respeilable•Gen ! .

I proposed to re-vaccinate many persons Wite' the matter you were so kind to give we, but I outp tweet it in two instances, in both of which it succcedld. I cannot say more to you on the 'subject of Vactia tion, than I did when 'you were at Ringwood. I censider it as an iobstimablehressing; and solemnly and seriously em of Opinion, that it is a pre'ventivo and efieetual pmerVative against tree Small-pox, when carefully conducted : and if the peo . ple of Ringwood . bad allowed themselves to have bocit fairly and'honestly informed of its merits, the lives of many would have been saved,, and the inaeeia.,iq intentions of.,,some persons in this quarter, to stige` matize the lennerian System, would have been de. leated. The enemies of Vaccination did all they could to propagate the Small-pox Man those \Vila were desirous of the Cow-pox ; and the peopitrwere much lob incautious to give the new inoculation any thing like a fair chance.
